| 692321 | 2008-07-26 05:21:00 | Is it best to SLEEP or HIBERNATE or if over a certain time TURN OFF. But how long is that TIME? |

| 692322 | 2008-07-26 05:46:00 | I always turn ours off at night as we are asleep but then there are 3 sometimes 4 machines running in this house | gary67 (56) | ||
| 692323 | 2008-07-26 07:29:00 | Like wise as Gary - always turn off the PC's in the house, the sound of 3-4 PC's running at night can be a bit annoying, Servers in the workshop never get turned off. Using sleep or hibernation , can sometimes cause more problems that good esp when waking from that state. |

| 692325 | 2008-07-26 12:03:00 | If its an hour or two, I hibernate. Any longer than that and I always turn them all off. | beeswax34 (63) | ||
| 692326 | 2008-07-26 12:22:00 | We put 5 of our 6 computers in to hibernation / sleep overnight part from the one in my bedroom as my speakers hum so I turn it off & off at the wall as well. | stu161204 (123) | ||
| 692327 | 2008-07-26 12:25:00 | I always turn my setup (5 pc's + 2 monitors) off at night (can't sleep otherwise!) and off at the wall too. Hibernation has caused problems for me in the past so I avoid that unless completely necessary. BTW - does a PC in hibernation use any more power than one that has been 'turned off'? |

| 692328 | 2008-07-26 14:13:00 | I thought hibernation only consumes 5% of normal power. | beeswax34 (63) | ||
| 692329 | 2008-07-26 23:35:00 | i rather switch off my computer during night time!!! The monitor i leave it into sleep mode (once the computer is off, my monitor turn itself into from green light to red light) :sleep :sleep :sleep :sleep |

| 692330 | 2008-07-27 03:18:00 | I thought hibernation only consumes 5% of normal power. Now there's a point. I generally use Hibernation when I have finished with my desktop. Then switch off at the wall which means everything is dead. I have never had any problems with this action except that when I reactivate the computer the speakers do not work - but they are generally turned off all the time anyway. Tom |
